This is quite a lot shorter than the first chapter, but they will get longer. Anyways, enjoy!
Okay, so I'm blind in one eye. That's not so bad, right? Better one eye than both.... My thoughts were going round in circles. I'd been doing this all day- I would not allow myself to accept that I would never see again out of my left eye. I couldn't accept it.
I'd called the school, and told them I was ill. Which was pretty much true.
Bakura had locked himself in his room, and hadn't come out for the duration of the day. I didn't know what he was doing; he'd closed off the mind link. Normally I would be grateful for this small moment of privacy, but now it just made me feel even more alone.
I was sitting on the sofa, trying to work out what on earth I was going to do.
Go to the hospital, I urged myself, Get some medical attention.
But if you go to the hospital there will be questions. How did you end up like this, who did this to you, on and on. When they find out about Bakura, he'll be arrested, it'll be all over the news....
Okay, so I don't go to the hospital. How about Malik? He'll know what to do.
He'll send Bakura to the shadow realm, more like.
He is rather overprotective... Well then, what about Yugi?
He'll tell Atem, and, again, Bakura ends up in the shadows.
Well I've got to tell someone! Who?
...
And that's just it. I couldn't think of anyone I could tell without serious consequences. My best friends either had 'anger management issues' or a yami that had been waiting to destroy a certain Ring spirit for over three millennia. All my other friends would tell Yugi immediately. The situation was not too good.
But…
What if I didn't tell anyone?
I shook my head, half smiling. That was the most ridiculous idea I'd had so far. You can't just not tell people that you're blind in one eye. I couldn't just go to school as if nothing had happened. Not being able to see out of half of your face isn't exactly something that you can shrug off as unimportant.
But you don't have any other choice, I reasoned with myself.
There is no other way. There is no other way to keep Bakura safe.
They'll kill me for not telling them if they do find out.
But they won't find out.
Why am I protecting my darker self? I have absolutely no idea. I've obviously lost it.
I rested my head in my hands and groaned.
When did my life get so complicated?
See you next time!
